The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (ENGLISH)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Hans Zimmer). The soundtrack of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is one of the Hans Zimmer's most experimental works. With noisier sounds, they give it a really electrical touch, and though it is not one of his better scores, the soundtrack includes an attractive main theme, besides epic moments that give value to this album as Zimmer is specialized to do. The work is signed by Hans Zimmer and The Magnificent Six, the group formed by Pharrell Williams, Johnny Marr (The Smiths, Modest Mouse), Michael Einziger (Incubus), Junkie XL, Andrew Kawczynski and Steve Mazzaro.

One of the most appraisable things of the expanded edition (that was released at the same time of the standard edition) is the incorporation of the sung themes at the end of the compilation. The fact of including them together with the score is already an achievement, since they are rarely used of being commercialized together. But that the songs were placed at the end of the compilation instead at the beginning is something really unusual, when they have received traditionally a favor treatment in this type of compilations, placing them always ahead the score. Or it is probably a question that only Hans Zimmer is capable to obtain this achievement. In any case, this one is undoubtedly the correct order, since the score that supposes 80 % of the music of the movie cannot be relegated to a second place.

The standard edition incudes 14 tracks of the score and 6 songs, whereas the deluxe edition adds 10 tracks of Zimmer’s score (including 2 long suites that, on being titled “suites”, they already give the sensation of being to refill) and one song more than the standard edition.
